Hey Totalympians Sorry for the long wait and no reply to your questions about prediction contests. The reason for the silence from my side has to due with the fact that me and my wife got our daughter in the beginning of December, so my time has been limited to other activities in the recent period. Due to this big change in me and my wife's life, I will not be able to do Prediction contests for a while. So I will step down as prediction contest manager and I hope one or more of you will take my place and continue doing prediction contests on the forum. Otherwise, I can recommend what @rafalgorka is doing with Prediction polls as a good alternative. I hope you all will understand my decision for stepping down as I do want to focus most of my time on my family in this new chapter of our life. Kind regards, Wumo

Karalis just cleared 5.95 (new indoor NR) and 6.01 (new overall NR), both on his first attempts! EDIT-He missed his first attempt at 6.08 and is not going to attempt any more jumps.

Oh yeah, and we can be recognized by a big banner with "Nunspeet" (our hometown) on it, and I'm carrying a Dutch-Brazilian flag, which I'll hold in a certain way to let Bruna know how she's doing when she is halfway

Is this our first confirmed 2028 qualification pathway confirmed? [World Taekwondo] World Taekwondo Changes Olympic Ranking Points Cycle I think we were already aware that there would be a change to ranking system for LA. It's now confirmed that World Taekwondo are switching to a 2-year ranking cycle. The first ranking period runs from July'24 - June'26 with the second period running from July'26 to June'28. Ranking points from the first phase will be used to determine entry and seeding for Grand Prix events in the second phase. Only the points acquired from July'26-June'28 will count towards Olympic qualification. As per previous cycles, the top five athletes in each of the relevant weight categories based on the Olympic rankings published in January'28 will automatically qualify for the LA Olympics. Another qualification criteria confirmed relates to the Grand Slam Champion Series. In previous qualification pathways, if the top ranked athlete in the Grand Slam merit points was also qualified through the Olympic rankings, the quota was reallocated to the next highest ranked Olympic athlete. For Los Angeles, this quota would be reallocated to the athlete ranked No. 2 in Grand Slam merit points. If this athlete is also within the top-5 in the Olympic rankings, the quota will be given to the next highest ranked athlete in the Olympic rankings.

With the completion of the European and Four Continents championships, we now have our first sample of what the team standings look like for the Olympics next year. Top 10 teams qualify for the Team Event. Championship = Best Result from 2025 World, European, Four Continents, or Junior Championships Grand Prix = Best Result from 2025-26 Grand Prix, Grand Prix Final, or Junior Grand Prix Rank Nation Points Championship Men Championship Women Championship Pairs Championship Ice Dance Grand Prix Men Grand Prix Women Grand Prix Pairs Grand Prix Ice Dance 1 Italy 2903 756 551 756 840 2 United States 2804 680 756 612 756 3 Georgia 2450 612 756 680 402 4 Japan 2405 612 551 840 402 5 Canada 2246 325 325 756 840 6 France 2123 680 325 362 756 7 South Korea 2092 756 840 496 8 Great Britain 1706 113 362 551 680 9 Switzerland 1689 840 612 237 10 Kazakhstan 1523 840 446 237 11 Estonia 1286 446 840 12 Australia 1184 140 102 496 446 13 Poland 1173 325 402 446 14 Germany 1133 840 293 15 Finland 1092 74 192 214 612 16 Hungary 928 102 612 214 17 China 799 237 237 325 18 Belgium 680 680 19 Spain 677 126 551 20 Sweden 605 293 156 156 21 Latvia 598 496 102 22 Ukraine 579 173 293 113 23 Lithuania 570 74 496 24 Czechia 534 83 126 325 25 Mexico 507 293 214 26 Israel 474 237 237 27 Philippines 451 126 325 28 Romania 446 446 29 Uzbekistan 402 402 30 Slovakia 377 264 113 31 Netherlands 325 325 32 Norway 264 264 33 Austria 256 83 173 34 Bulgaria 214 214 34 Chinese Taipei 214 214 36 Azerbaijan 192 192 37 India 173 173 38 Armenia 156 156 39 Ireland 140 140 39 South Africa 140 140 41 Hong Kong 102 102 42 Slovenia 92 92 42 Malaysia 92 92

Indoor worlds team announced:https://sirc.ca/news/team-canada-ready-to-take-on-the-world-indoors/

Not the way I wanted Karalis to win his first major gold medal, and winning with only 5.90m is a bit disappointing but I guess I shouldn't complain It seems the pressure of being the favourite with Mondo not competing here got the best of him, but in the end the goal was achieved.

I watched that together with the parents of one Ebba Andersson, that was quite the fun thing to watch (and they seem like really lovely people)

4 medals at the Junior short track World Championships over the weekend. Ayisha Miao Qi was the standout on the women's side winning gold in the 500m and bronze in the 1500m. On the men's side, Mathieu Pelletier won gold in the 500m and Victor Chartrand won bronze in the 1000m.

Worth mentioning that Flow is the first ever Oscar win for a Latvian film!

Dubreuil and Blondin pick up silver medals in the 500m and mass start respectively

She announced her pregnancy today

Marion Thenault LANDED a jump the men do in the first final at the Aerials World Cup in Kazakhstan for 103 points and then did an even bigger degree of difficulty in the second final fell and still placed fourth.

Will Floyd follows it up with a 45.24 in the SEC Championships final! A lot of our top 400m runners for the men are all in college, very promising signs for our hopes of qualifying a relay for the Olympics.

Great to see Strate figure things out this last week! She seemed to be really struggling to get into the top ten much of the year Edit: Maurer also nearly cracked the top 20 with a big second jump to finish 21st. Good day for the Canadians all around

Bruna is the thumbnail on HBO

Abigail strate with a bronze! Loutitt did not compete. I wonder if she may be injured ?

Evan Dunfee with a new Canadian record of 1:17.39 in the men’s 20km race walk at the Australian Race Walking Championships! (it’s open entry) In the form of his life at this age, insane!

Well that got a bit closer than I would've liked at the end but Canada beats Finland 5-3. vs. in the final on Thursday

Nice 4th place finish for Aurelie Moisan in the parallel giant slalom today

first win for the Italian men's relay since 2007 very good Home stage for us if only the organizers didn't set the finals sessions at 2 p.m. (especially on Saturday), there would have been a lot more spectators on the seats

update: Not the best start to the year for Tentoglou, but I guess it can only get better from here Karalis seems to be getting consistent in jumps over 5.90m, and proving that 2024 was no fluke and he is hopefully here to stay (and I guess to win more silver and bronze medals because there is some Swedish guy who is apparently too good ) No news on Stefanidi and she hasn't been very active on social media. She may have quietly retired, but I have a feeling she is pregnant and will try to come back for LA 2028. Meanwhile, we have some other hopes in the women's pole vault and I think we'll still qualify 3 girls for LA even without Polak (suspended), Kyriakopoulou (retired), and Stefanidi. Two 16 yos are doing well this indoor season, Bouboulidi (4.21) and Mirtsiou (4.15). We also have 21 yo Retsa, who seemed very promising a number of years ago with 4.14 as a 16 yo and then had some injuries and her progress kind of stalled. Now she is improving a lot this year and has a SB (and obviously PR) of 4.41 New U18NR in the men's long jump from 17 yo Tzelepis with 7.46. It will be interesting to track his progress over the next few years vs Tentoglou when he was that young. There are another two teenagers who seem promising, both from Grevena (Tentoglou's hometown) - Samaras and Isaakidis. Also 19 yo Mita in the men's high jump with a new PB of 2.26
